frontstraight Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Great to hear that you are adding karts Owen, they have produced a great class of Thunder drivers over the years and have a couple from our first year with karts now running in the Limited Modifieds. I would strongly recommend that you replace the stock connecting rod with the billet rod, it has seemed to be the weak spot on the briggs motor.
